9th Annual Holiday Auction at Fiddler’s Inn next Tuesday

Next Tuesday, December 9th, you are invited to Fiddler’s Inn for the 9th Annual Holiday auction benefiting Northwest Harvest. All proceeds from this event are donated to the cause. Over the years, this event has raised between $40k – $50k for Northwest Harvest—usually between $5k and $6k per year. Auction starts at 7:00 P.M.

Auction items include artwork, a Fat Tire bicycle from New Belgium Brewing, Mariner’s tickets, brewery tours, lots of cool beer swag, and much more. The prizes and prize packages are still coming together. Actually, I will be on the auction block this year. That’s right, a beer talk and tasting event with Kendall. Your group of up to six people will join me for a special selection of rare and interesting beers, appetizers, and an informative, fun and assertively hopped beer chat. And that’s just one of the many items up for bid.

A couple years ago at this event I successfully bid on a “Garden Talk with Ciscoe Morris” and gave it to Kim as a Christmas gift. Ooh-la-la! To say it was well-received is an understatement. The package included wine (or beer) plus appetizers for four of us and Ciscoe. We showed him pictures of trouble spots in our yard, asked questions, shared stories, and laughed. It was a blast.

So come on out and celebrate the season while we support Northwest Harvest.
